Alexander, once one of the NFL’s top corners, has played only 14 games combined the last two seasons. The move frees up about $17 million in cap space. Alexander was drafted in 2018 and made Pro Bowls in 2020 and 2022 but has played just 34 of the past 68 games.
— Jacksonville Jaguars punter Logan Cooke has signed a four-year, $16 million contract extension, making him the highest-paid punter in the NFL.

Prosecutors say Riley was the ringleader in a series of burglaries that started in February and involved thefts from the homes of such players as Seattle Mariners Luis Castillo and Julio Rodriguez and former Seattle Seahawk Richard Sherman.

— Florida A&M University athletic director Angela Suggs was arrested Monday, accused of stealing over $24,000 using a corporate credit card for personal expenses at her previous job as CEO of the Florida Sports Foundation. Suggs faces felony charges of grand theft and scheme to defraud, plus misdemeanor counts of false travel claims. The investigation revealed she used the card for personal purchases, including casino trips, and falsified travel vouchers. Florida A&M says the case relates to her former employer and they are monitoring the situation.
NHL
— Former Sioux Falls Stampede and Washington Capitals star T.J. Oshie has officially announced his retirement after a 16-year NHL career.

The 38-year-old missed much of last season due to a persistent back injury and had hinted retirement was near. Drafted in 2005, Oshie played over 1,100 NHL games with the St. Louis Blues and Capitals, finishing with 336 goals and 428 assists.
MLB
— All-Star right-hander Corbin Burnes of the Arizona Diamondbacks is set to undergo Tommy John elbow surgery, ending his season early in the first year of a $210 million, six-year contract.

— The attorney for Tampa Bay Rays shortstop Wander Franco says he will ask the court to exonerate his client in a sexual abuse case involving a 14-year-old girl. Franco faces charges including sexual exploitation, human trafficking, and money laundering, and could face up to 30 years in prison. Prosecutors claim evidence includes witness testimony and financial transactions linked to the alleged abuse. Franco’s lawyer insists his client is innocent and denies Franco possessed a handgun for which he was also charged. Franco’s career has been on hold since August 2023, following his arrest in the Dominican Republic.
